    What is a breathing bag?

    So, I was looking into why people do drip acclimation for shrimp rather than floating the bag, I came across the term breathing bag. I looked it up and it looks the same as any fish bag. But I read that nonbreathing bags are the standard. How would you tell the difference? I would get shrimp...

    I'm thinking about getting shrimp

    There are many different types I could get. I've never owned any before. They would have to be compatible with my set up. I have platies in a 20 gallon with sand substrate, live plants, and a HOB filter. I'm afraid the platies could eat shrimp, but their babies swim right in front of them all...

    How many shrimp should I get?

    So I am getting a nice 29-gallon aquarium soon. I am going to have 1 betta fish in it, 8 neon tetras, 6 otocinclus cats, and I want some colorful shrimp. I am leaning towards cherry shrimp. I have had ghost shrimp and my betta does not bother them. How many shrimp should I get for my 29-gallon?
